Psyching Conventional Opening Lead ( 21:42:27 SunNov 24 2002 )
The opening lead against 3NT is the 10 of hearts. The cc of opps defines it:
AJ10x.
A109x.
KB10x.
K109x.
Q109x.
Dummy's AK2 and declarers J3 in the suit of the opening lead can result three tricks, if the J wins.

A second control of opps cc shows: the 109x. suitcombination will be opened with the 9.

The declarer had also an other alternative to collect his 9th trick (a finess in an other suit), but he did want to cash the trick with the hearth Jack, presented by the opening lead from the Q109x.

You know, the Queen of RHO won the first trick, and everybody at the pair tournament used the working finess to make the contract.

What is TD-s decision, if the SO has no hint for psyching?

False cards are common in bridge, far more common than any psyches during the bidding.

Of course the TD should make sure that this is how they play it, but so long as there is no misinformation the result stands.
